Josh Hamilton Released From Hospital, Will Sit Out Rest Of Astros Series
Texas Rangers All-Star outfielder Josh Hamilton has been released from the hospital after spending the night with an intestinal virus he likely caught from his family. Hamilton received fluids overnight to recover and he will be at Rangers Ballpark on Sunday to work out, but he will not be playing in the Houston Astros series.
Hamilton is schedule to fly with the team and expected play against the San Diego Padres for Monday's game. While Hamilton has been out the Rangers called up Triple-A outfielder Leonys Martin to take his place for a few games.
A few days off may actually help Hamilton regroup since he has had a subpar June where he has batted only .196 with one homer and five RBI this month, and this is coming after he was named American League player of the month in April and May.

Josh Hamilton Hospitalized With Virus, Will Sit Out Series Against Astros
Rangers starting outfielder Josh Hamilton is not expected to play at all against the Houston Astros since the All-Star player is suffering from an intestinal virus. Hamilton left Thursday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks with abdominal pains, and overnight the pain continued so Hamilton was admitted to the hospital Friday morning.
Hamilton is expected to spent about 24 hours in the hospital, and with that news manager Ron Washington is holding Johnson out of the series:
"We're going to miss Hamilton," Washington said Friday afternoon. "But we're going to continue to move forward and play baseball. You don't want your best player out of the lineup but there is nothing we can do about it.
"I'm not expecting him to play [Saturday]. After that we'll wait and see. We've got a day game on Sunday so he's probably gone for the weekend."
The virus was likely caught from his family who had been sick, plus there have been other Rangers who had the same illness so the clubhouse was thoroughly cleaned on Friday to avoid other players from getting ill.
